Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has identified three strategic priorities for the company: developing an "everything exchange," enhancing stablecoin payment systems, and expanding self-custodial DeFi wallets. In a recent interview, Armstrong emphasized the potential for all asset classes to transition on-chain, driven by AI agents facilitating a machine-to-machine economy. He highlighted the broader mission of cryptocurrency as "unbundling money from the state," aiming to increase global economic freedom and potentially lead to the emergence of "network states."
